I've have been looking for and audix 3 cleaning tape (head cleaner) everywhere - trust me I've looked!!! Does anyone know if can use a normal cleaning tape on the same media rather than using the avaya/lucent cleaning tape???
 
You may use any brand of cleaning media as long as it meets the specifications for the drive. An 8mm DAT drive will require an 8mm cleaning tape, a Travan drive will require a Travan cleaning tape, etc...

This also applies for backups. You do not need to use any sort of "Avaya-branded" media. Do pick a decent quality, well-known brand, though.
 
Thanks for your help I thought I could but I didn't want the audix to self destruct!
